The Best Takashi Miike Movies, Ranked

After directing over 100 motion pictures, short videos, and television productions since his directorial debut in 1991, Takashi Miike has become well-known on an international scale for horror movies, samurai cinema, disturbing images, and everything in between. Known for his depictions of graphic violence, endless amounts of blood, and highly animated (almost cartoonish) characters, his films are commonly labeled as over the top, but have a darkness impossible to shake. Pushing endless boundaries in cinema, Miike credits directors such as Akira Kurosawa, Hideo Gosha, David Lynch, David Cronenberg, and Paul Verhoeven for inspiring his variety of work.
